TAG TOURNAMENT III ROUND TWO
Magazine

Round 1 of the tournament was a success, mostly due to the fact that the majority of the writers showed and it was a stacked opening round. We only had two no-shows in Cashius/Knucklehead and Joe Metts/Strikta. This threw a small kink into the Round 2 seedings as both of those teams were the favored seed, but Diode, Death, Witty, and Genocide all did their thing, dropped on time, and deserved to move onto the next round for actually prioritizing the tournament. For the battles that actually went into the voting stage, they were all one-sided affairs. The winning team in each match won without a single vote going against them. That’s to be expected in some matches, but the evenly-matched contests were blowouts as well. I can’t imagine that will be the case this round. Things have narrowed down and the high quality nature of this tournament is starting to come into effect. Even one of the Top 3 seeds has a tough matchup this go around, as Orc and Hush face off against Patrick and Sn00p. We also have Neighbor and Allen Knight going against Aero and Dominate. Both should be excellent. There’s always the chance for an upset in the other two matches as well. It should be a dope round if the previous verses by Round 2’s participants are any indication.

ROUND 2 RECAPS
Slaughterhouse.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6vuKEhwTbo

ill nik-a & Bags vs. Destroyer/TheEnd

This was originally nik/Bags vs. Storyteller/TheEnd but then Storyteller had a life-altering change and decided to never visit Netcees again. We’re all better off for it. Meanwhile, Destroyer made his little mini-resurgence and subbed in. Which is relatively funny because Bags and Des share a den together (get it!? It’s a funny joke! THEY LIKE EACH OTHER!!!). Anyhoo, this was one-sided (I’ll be saying that a lot in these recaps. Every time, in fact). Factor in that nik and Bags are the 1 seed, Des had a short time to write, and TheEnd being an unknown quality with no chemistry with Des, and you get a blowout. This doesn’t give enough credit to Des and TheEnd, though, as every vote had something positive to say about them. That wasn’t the case with every battle in Round 1. But nik and Bags had the consistently dope punches that simply overwhelmed Des and TheEnd.

Patrick & Sn00p vs. Philly & Meth

This was supposed to be the second closest match of the first round behind Aero/Dominate and Karaoke/Mael. That changed once Philly decided to pull the no show, leaving Meth to take on two of the best battlers on the site by himself. Thing is, Meth has some bars but he isn’t at the level to take on two respected vets for this length of lines. Swerve and sn00p didn’t bring their top notch shit, but it was enough to take the battle with no votes against. Respect to Meth for going 2 on 1 and getting some props in the votes.

God of War & Alvin Karpis vs. Shogun Dinero & Lotto Smirk

Massacre. I’ll be honest, GoW and Karpis overloaded on the lotto/Gamble word plays. I mean, that shit is ripe for the picking and each individual use of it was dope. But it got a little old. But that’s picking nits. I do believe this was Gamble solo. GoW and Karpis brought hits outside of that particular wordplay, too, and there wasn’t much Gamblino could do. He started off with a self-tag nameplay. I will give him props, his second bar (god was never real) was actually a good tag punch, but not really based on a real personal. Outside of that, he got outclassed. Just the same, I give respect to any team who showed and MORE to someone who showed for the line length with a partner missing. Props to dude for dropping a verse, it’s more than few complete teams did. Just ran into a freight train.

Orc & Hush vs. Franco & Leowats

Hush and Leo dropped half finished verses and shit. This was class warfare lol. When everything got straightened out, Orc and Hush came with the best verse of the week, to the point that I questioned not making them the top seed. They dropped as if they were battling a high seed, not to their competition. Leo has gained an immediate bad reputation which I’m sure didn’t help in the votes. But it didn’t matter, Orc and Hush came correct. As I said in my Round 1 Preview Mag, Leo and Franc would have had to drop their best shit and hoped Orc and Hush dropped mediocre. That didn’t happen. They’re a threat and might be the new favorites.

The Faculty vs. Phuck Yew/Rayge

My personal favorite of the blowouts. I thought Phuck and Rayge had some dope bars, tbh. The AK Malfunction line is exactly the line I’m looking for in this tourney. Dope double word play, although they were missing a word as a typo. I thought the Allen Knight Starbucks line was dope, too. Outside of that, they had some lines with good concepts but missed execution or just plain misses for lines overall. I’ll be honest, AK and Neigh had some solid bars but I expected just a LITTLE more. If I had to vote I would’ve still gone with them, but it was a closer in mind than the votes would lead someone to believe. Their mechanics and knowledge of how to construct a battle verse were too much for Phuck/Rayge in the end. I’m sure they’re bringing their best this round.

Aero & Dominate (formerly Vainglorious) vs. Karaoke & Mael

This was supposed to be the battle of the week, the closely contested match, the push Round 2 opening back tete-a-tete….and it wasn’t. Karaoke is respected, and I know firsthand Mael has bars, but they got knocked out in the votes. Every vote basically said it was a close affair, but sided with Aero/Dom. The Karaoke/drop the ball opener was ill as fuck. Expected more from Karaoke/mael.

INTERVIEWS
This time with more Irish, Drunk, and Anti-Bags

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOvu0wGSBho

WITTY

You and Geno got into the second round on a no show. What chance do you give yourselves going into Round 2 against nik/bags?

I think we are better than people would expect us to be, we are both mainly topical writers and we are against two of the best and most successful battlers on the site, we will be going for the win tho, I always believe I can win.

Who do you have as the favorite for the tournament, excluding yourselves if need be?

Hush and Orc are a nasty team, it is hard to look past those two when picking a favorite

As an Irish person, how often are you drunk?

Definitely more often than I should be although not as often as I used to be....growing up sucks.

Do you live in the dangerous part of Ireland?

The area I grew up was much more dangerous than where I live now, it was a place ran by paramilitary organisations, otherwise known as terrorist faggots who used to have a cause but are now just thugs and drug dealers who know how to use bombs and create fear, fuck em.

How do you feel about people impersonating the Irish accent?

Lol people can do the Irish accent all they want, I don't have the typical Irish accent so they aren't sounding anything like me anyway, but yeah....I see no problem with making fun of accents or cultures, as long as it stays as fun, I don't like people who can laugh at others but can't laugh at themselves.

I enjoy drinking Jameson; is Jameson a shitty Irish whiskey? What whiskey would you recommend?

No Sir, Jameson is a great whiskey, one of the best...well done on having good taste. I would recommend Bushmills.

How did you and Geno get paired up? Random signing up or have you guys collabed in the past/love each other? He seems very mean.

We are both ATR, he posted a thread looking for an ATR member to tag with so I figured why not? Geno is a great writer and one of my favorite boarders so it is cool to be tagging with him.

Do you think you're more intelligent than me? Sometimes I think you do. You're not. You're pretty smart. But do you?

It would be very unintelligent of me to consider myself intelligent...I think I have a talent for arguing and knowing how to express my opinions coherently more so than being intelligent. Intelligence suggests education and qualifications. I have had very little of either, so no probably not.

How did you arrive at netcees?

You faggots came to RIA and it looked fun and I wanted to see what this place was like. Plus GOW was here and I was already cool with him so I came over, got heavily clowned, got banned, and fell in love. I love the trolling culture of this place....netcees is like my soul mate. Some people are not good at it though and they need to stop before they kill this place.

Any last thoughts/shoutouts?

Shout out to me for being so fucking talented and better than everyone at everything.
Shout out to yourself for the interview and running of the league

Shout out to ATR

Shout out to the fox

ALLEN KNIGHT

You and Neigh took care of business in the first round but you have Aero and Dominate this round. How do you see your Round 2 matchup going down? Also, is Aero a faggot?

Now that we're down to 8 teams who do you think has the best chance of champing this tournament, aside from you and Neighbor?

Everyone left is dope tbh, an its really anyones game but honestly think orc an hush thats a striaght ill team right there , also did i mention bags is honestly a fuckin piece of shit. I hope he gets gang raped by the amish mafia in a barn


Right now I have nik/bags, GoW/Karpis, and Orc/Hush ahead of you and Neighbor as seeds. Explain why you and neigh have a chance to win this over the higher seeds?

ROUND 2 PREDICTIONS
I’m like ¾’s of a bottle of Jameson deep at this point.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F__5hCMt8s4

ill nik-a & Bags vs. Witty & Genocide

Nik and Bags swept votes as the top seed while Witty and Genocide got in on the no show. Not to take anything away from Witty and Genocide, they did what it took to advance. They’re known primarily as topical or Open Mic writers and with my background I have nothing but love for that, but in my mind even if they drop their best they might come up short. As I said in the Pre-Mag, Geno has bars. He just dropped a semi-site diss in Open Mic and his rhyming is on point and he can drop some decent punches. Witty, to me, is a bit rusty. They’re in the path of the “defending champs”, and nik/bag’s are that for a reason. This could be more entertaining than preconceptions dictate, but I think nik and Bags take it.

NIK/BAGS 80/20

Orc & Hush vs. Patrick & sn00p

Dope battle, second best of the week. Reading through the verses of Round 1, I may have made a mistake in seeding Orc and Hush #3, as they had a legitimate argument for #1 and only solidified it by having my personal verse of the week in the first round. They run into tough competition in Swerve and Sn00p, though. I don’t think S&S dropped to their full potential last week, but they easily secured the win and could be winding into form. They need to be to try and make the upset happen. If every competitor drops to their potential this is up their as the battle of the week. I give the edge to Orc and Hush.

ORC/HUSH 65/35

God of War & Alvin Karpis vs. Diode & Death

One of the only problems of me modding this tourney is I don’t have the extensive knowledge of textcee battling that many people have on this site. Diode and Death got the no show win last week with a no show verse. I hadn’t read any verses from either before the tourney, and now that hasn’t changed. I know both are presences in the discussion forum, but that doesn’t necessarily mean anything. I know GoW and Karpis are dope, top tier battlers. I’ll give Diode and Death the benefit of the doubt and assume they’re above average. They might be better than that, I just don’t know. Either way I’m making the safe bet.

GOW/KARPIS 70/30

The Faculty (Neighbor & Allen Knight) vs. Aero & Dominate

The other great battle of the week. There are a lot of variables to this contest. Do Neighbor and Allen Knight drop to their full potential? Can Aero and Dominate match their level of quality from last Round? If everything works out this is by far the best match of the second round. The residue of so many dope writers signing up. In my mind, if all four show to their best it’s almost impossible to call. I won’t be a lame in the prediction though.

NEIGHBOR/ALLEN KNIGHT 55/45

TOP 5 PUNCHES OF ROUND 1
Idk wtf I'm talking about!

1. Step & be served. No question Aero & Dom'll sever these herbs

3. One punch will merk smirk, and I’ll do a quick bid
I split lids, shit I’ll hit Lotto and brag about it faster than Vic did
-GoW/Karpis

4. Orc is like Ricky Bobby & Hush is Kenny Powers
we leaving Franco between a rock & a hard place. shits looking like 127 hours
-Orc/Hush

5. Put the gun to his brim, u aint slagin dope son this problem is fix
Nigga that fire shit come in ounces, halfs, 7’s, 3.5’s, dubs, but NEVER in niks
-Destroyer/TheEnd

WTF’S & PARTING MESSAGE
I did it. I really did it.
